Problem with Twitter Apps

I feel like there is a problem with almost all twitter apps on the iPhone.

Boxcar is just too good. If you don’t know Boxcar is an amazing app that basically just pushes notifications to your phone. It does an amazing job, you can set up multiple accounts, search, even have it open your favorite app when it pushes a message instead of opening itself.

Problem is it does it’s job too well. Almost no Twitter app implements it’s own push system. They all jut tell you to use Boxcar. What is this a problem? For one, more personally, I’m trying to cut back on the apps I have installed. More importantly though no one else is solving the problem so there is no innovation.
